Vicarious trauma when interacting with colleagues in crisis – What HR needs to know!
This event is now over. Click here for the webinar recap/recording.
Join us for our webinar as we discuss the topic “Vicarious trauma when interacting with colleagues in crisis – What HR needs to know!“
In March we hosted a webinar on violence against women and what HR needed to know. In a follow-up event we are delighted to have Cutty Felton talk to us about vicarious trauma and the mitigation of risk for HR professionals.
Recent changes to WHS/OHS regulations mean that organisations have an obligation to manage and control psychosocial hazards and risks. But who looks after the people who look after your people?
Cutty will talk us through the four key skills of managing and controlling psychosocial hazards and risks; and cover why the lack of appropriate training and skill development inadvertently creates the exposure. In addition to vicarious trauma, Cutty will also talk about compassion fatigue, burnout, and the potential indicators for all of these.
This feels like our most important webinar yet to help HR professionals ensure they are mitigating the risk for their own health and well-being.
